There was some movement at the door of the store. Song Yuehua looked up and saw Liu Sandiao coming in from outside.
He didn't come to the counter, but went directly to the third old man and asked, "Master Zuo, shall we have a plate?"
"What are you betting on?"
Liu San Tiao laughed and said, "10 cents as a prize, and one more piece for the chessboard, tea and set meal."
"You're here to eat for free, right?" said Master Zuo, glancing at me.
Liu San Tiao didn't care and just asked him, "Just tell me whether you agree or not."
"Go get the chess pieces," Zuo Siye snorted, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Liu San Tiao came to the counter to get the chess pieces, and when he saw Song Yuehua, he asked, "Mr. Song, you haven't been to the chess hall recently. Did you go to Wenzhou to inquire about the Hailin Feast?"
"You also know Hailin Banquet?" Song Yuehua laughed.
Liu San Tiao smiled and said, "I know a lot. Remember to order a set meal for me."
Fourth Master Zuo also asked Master Mu and Master Bai loudly, "Has my lunch been ordered? Do you two want to ask Fu Yatou as well?"
"Okay, give us one each." Mr. Mu shouted towards the counter.
Xiang Xiaoyu responded, "Master Mu, Master Bai, two set meals, I've got that."
Before long, people started coming into the chess hall, some to play chess and some to order meals.
When Zhou Xiaohu came to deliver the meal, he talked to Song Yuehua about what happened in the morning.
"Aunt Liang came to our yard and worked for half a day before she left. She helped me wash vegetables and clean up. This is so embarrassing. She didn't want any money and she didn't want to take the two eggs I cooked. Daya, look at me..."
Song Yuehua took the lunch box and said, "Tell Zhang Rushan to let Pan An tell his mother that we don't need anyone to clean up the yard for the time being."
Zhou Xiaohu nodded.
The next morning, Song Yuehua came to Qi's house with the invitation.
The servant at the door led her to the pavilion in the backyard.
She was the only one here at the moment. Song Yuehua looked around and her eyes were broadened.
Green leaves, red lotus, sparkling water, cool breeze and fragrant flowers, it is so pleasant.
Just as Song Yuehua sat down, Leng Suxue came over holding an oil-paper umbrella. Her white hair and skin were crystal clear under the sunlight, and she seemed like an alien.
"Miss Song, sorry to have kept you waiting." After entering the pavilion, Xiqin spread a cushion on the stone bench, and Leng Suxue sat down.
Song Yuehua looked around and asked, "Am I the only one coming to this flower viewing party?"
"I just came here and I only know Miss Song, so I only invited her." Leng Suxue spoke slowly.
Song Yuehua, "..."
Xiqin asked people to bring a lot of cakes and tea. After they were served on the table, all the servants left.
"Miss Song looks very much like my elder sister," Leng Suxue spoke to herself.
"Since I was little, my appearance has scared many people. In order to protect me, my elder sister learned to use a whip. Anyone who dared to laugh at me was whipped in the face. After that, no one dared to laugh at me anymore."
"When I got older, my family wanted to send me to a nunnery to become a nun, but my elder sister asked my parents to keep me in exchange for my entry into the palace. In this world, no one will treat me better than my elder sister."
Song Yuehua listened calmly.
Leng Suxue said helplessly, "The last incident is over. Miss, there is no need to be so cautious. You actually sent someone to Yuqing Temple. It's hard for my silly cousin. He is still waiting for Miss Xiaoyun to calm down..."
Hearing this, Song Yuehua was shocked, she even knew about Yuqing Temple.
"Miss Song," Leng Suxue seemed to have realized something and explained, "I have no ill intentions. Can you trust me?"
Song Yuehua clenched her palms and said calmly, "I have no grudge against you, so I believe you have no ill intentions. My sister is just an ignorant child, so you don't need to worry about her, Mr. Qi."
Leng Suxue took a sip of tea and said, "Miss Song, please try this tea, which is a tribute from foreign countries."
Song Yuehua said, "Miss Leng, why bother to use such precious tea to entertain a rough man like me? To me, tea is just to quench my thirst."
Leng Suxue sighed softly.
The two of them had no idea what was going on, so the lotus banquet ended abruptly.
After returning to Nuanxue Pavilion, Leng Suxue asked, "Xiqin, did I scare someone away?"
"Miss, you shouldn't mention Yuqing Temple." Xiqin closed all the doors and windows.
Leng Suxue leaned on the couch and murmured, "I didn't ask people to investigate Yuqing Temple..."
Xiqin sat beside the couch and rubbed Leng Suxue's forehead. "I didn't expect that Miss Xiaoyun could catch the eye of Taoist Master Miaoshou. It's good this way. Madam can't put her hands in there, and can't come up with any bad ideas."
"Master Qi is also useless. I can't protect him when he is alive, and I can't keep him when he leaves. I miss him so much that I can't even get up from my sick bed..."
Speaking of Qi Juncai, Leng Suxue just remembered and asked, "Has the Western Ginseng been delivered to anyone?"
Xiqin nodded and said, "Dongmei sent it there, but she hasn't come back yet."
As soon as Song Yuehua left the Qi Mansion, she heard someone calling her from behind.
When I turned around, it was Qi Juncai.
"Song Dongjia!"
Qi Juncai left Awang behind, with a scarf still wrapped around his forehead, and ran to her with a pale face and panting, "When will Xiaoyun be back?"
Song Yuehua said, "Xiao Yun will not be back in the near future, Mr. Qi should find another chess friend."
"Wait a minute," Qi Jun walked around to Song Yuehua and said, "It was my fault that day, I..."
"It has nothing to do with what happened that day," Song Yuehua said, "Master Qi, Xiaoyun also has her own things to do. It is not decent for you to try to find out her whereabouts now."
Qi Juncai quickly explained, "It was my own fault. After Xiaoyun didn't come to the chess hall for a month, I became anxious and fell ill. My mother was thinking about me, so she sent people to look for Xiaoyun. Unexpectedly, she became the disciple of Taoist Master Miaoshou."
